You see, Another VERY Talented player.

Makes sense.

Duh (not to you Lupo)!!

I bought today's paper with the Martina interview and there's basically nothing in addition to what has been already posted, just some speculations on how would Martina fare against Serena and that she wants to climb Kilimanjaro again.

Martina Hingis briefly comments on Petra's current situation:

Acc. to Hingis, both Martinas are rooting for Petra

Thats very nice. Well im still rooting for Petra, even though the girl can drive me nuts. But im still a fan of her.

I'm still trying to figure out, how less weights make you more sore and/or throw off your shots and motion?

Something doesn't add up (besides the fact that Petra didn't have enough rest and preparation time, ending the past season and leading up to the current one).

Well, let's just hope Petra's career doesn't go the Ana Ivanovic route, though it seems eerily similar at the moment.

Hopefully, Petra falls into the transition year/s, bounce back category (after winning first major), than the players that experienced a downward spiral and mediocrity ever since.

Yea, but you know how GM is. They like to make prediction on players like her.

The Paris slam can't come soon enough (not throwing shade here*). Hope her form revives there, I mean, we're still in the beginning of '13. Funny thing is, according to the Chinese astrology, the new year has not yet begun.

Big interview with 'Smartina' will be published tomorrow by the daily Dnes (idnes.cz is their electronic outlet). So maybe there'll be some more comments on Petra.

It seems that Czech journalists are having too much time on their hands in Australia and they try to draw a few comments on Petra from every Czech-speaking legend now available in Melbourne. I expect a similar interview with Ivan Lendl, if Andy loses to Roger and Ivan has more time for Czech journalists.

What do you expect with Petra playing so poorly; her team being all Czech and Slovak, while Tomas Berdych or any other Czech singles player aren't winning anything in Oz.

Fed Cup and doubles talk will only get you so far, once the top Czech singles players are knocked out.

We're rooting for her too

Good point! She should get her Swiss ass away from the Paris academy and return to the Czech Republic and become Petra's full-time coach
